Abstract

The development of 10 MW class large-scale wind power systems has been the mainstream trend in the renewable energy field. An electrical design approach and an optimization method of the basic parameters for the different types of 10 MW wind turbine generators have been presented in our previous work. In this paper, the influence of the rated revolution on the weights of the generator and the high-temperature superconducting (HTS) field part are first studied for the HTS generators with stator outer diameters of 14, 7.4, and 4.1 m. The optimum value of the rated revolution is then determined and analyzed. In addition, the influence of the rated revolution on the generator performance is evaluated for the PM with stator outer diameters of 14.3, 7.3, and 4 m and copper generators with stator outer diameters of 13.9, 7.2, and 4.1 m. Finally, the generator characteristics with respond to the rated revolutions are compared for the three types of wind turbine generators with stator outer diameters of 14, 7, and 4 m. The results show that the HTS generators with stator outer diameter of approximately 14 m have a great advantage in practical applications corresponding to the desirably rated revolution of 40 min−1.
